More about

Downtown Music Publishing Africa is where the business of music meets the soul of the continent.

We’re the team behind the paperwork, the placements, and the protection that keeps creators creating — and getting paid.

Formerly Sheer Publishing, we’ve evolved from a homegrown pioneer into Africa’s leading independent music publisher, now backed by the global force of Downtown Music Holdings. New name. Same mission. Bigger impact.
